Good morning everyone! I want to preface this post by saying that I am a Mechanical Engineer and am extremely hands-on. That's why I decided to repair my own iphone.
Story:
Bought an iPhone 4 brand spanking new. ~9 months after getting my iphone, the lock button went out. Under warranty, I got a new one. That lock button lasted ~7 months and I was out of warranty. I replaced the lock button myself and decided to spice up my phone with a white home button (Its a black iphone). Everything worked fine for a while, then the home button started working sporadically. Last week I disassembled the phone again, removed the white button from the ribbon, and put it onto the stock button ribbon. Reassembled the phone, and broke the digitizer ribbon in the process. $35 later and I have a new screen and digitizer. Got the phone back together and the screen was black. Vibrate still worked. Didn't recognize the computer or the wall charger. Took it apart again to look for p

I have Iphone 4 with the GreenPois0n jailbreak running 4.1 has worked perfectly for two months now , charged fine Friday night when I went to bed. Go to put it on the wall charger and nothing happens. Plugged it into my computer no recognition, tried different outlet and different cables/chargers, and a laptop still nothing. No sync or charge on either computer, Tried My car charger and the light on the charger switches from orange to green but the phone does not charge, put it in my Ihome cradle alarm clock and it will play songs from the iphone but will not charge.
I have done soft reset, still nothing, and I have also tried plugging in while phone is off, the phone automatically turns on when i Plug it in but does not charge.
Any Ideas???
I was thinking about doing a reset on phone through the settings or trying wi-fi sync to do a restore through itunes but i don't know if i have enough battery life to complete either of those I only have 32% left , my ph

iPhone 4 not charging to 100%

I originally thought this was a battery calibration issue when I first got my iP4, so I drained the battery completely and charged for 8 hours. My nightly charge routine is sync, turn off while still docked to Mac, then either close the lid to the Macbook or leave it open. Sometimes I'll wake up to 100% charged, other times it could be 80%. Is the iP4 not designed to charge when turned off and docked to a computer or is there another issue?

iPhone 4 not charging via USB?
location:
apple.com - date:
June 25, 2010
I got my phone on the 23rd, activated it with no problem. I plugged in my phone via USB around 11 pm last night and this morning, its only at 95% charge. This is after 7 hours of being plugged in via USB. Has anyone else encountered a slow charging/non charging phone? I also noticed the battery life really ***** if you are on a call, but using apps really doesn't take much juice. So far I've lucked out in regard to other issues, but if the phone won't hold a charge/won't fully charge then it's not much use to me.

iPhone 4 Not charging on wall but charges in Mac

Weirdest thing,
iPhone 4 will charge on Mac or PC with USB plugin, but not charge on wall or in car.
-It is not a defect of the wall plug or usb wire or car charger.....those same cables all work with my wife's and daughter's iPhone. And too, using their cables on my iPhone ends up with the same result that my phone only charges on a PC or my Mac.
What I have done:
=Soft reset. Multiple times
-Hard reset. Multiple times
-Reset to factory settings, loading original firmware.
-Reverted to previous and current version of iOS
-Clean the iPhone port as well as possible (but as Apple said if the port was the problem then it wouldn't charge on the computer.
-Reseated the Sim card.
And spent an hour on the phone with Apple, which suggested to reset everything to factory settings.
The problem is still there, it does not charge with any of the 4 USB wall plugs and 3 car charges that I hav

Iphone 4 not charging !

Plugged in my iphone 4 and it will not charge.. it does not show charging icon, it does not show anything. Strangely.. if it runs out and I plug it in, it will charge until turned on.. what can I DO?!??!
I even tried putting in safe mode.. no luck..
it makes even less sense because i am running tethered ios 4.3.5.. and I can reboot it if it shuts off meaning the cable has to work?

Hi, my iPhone 4 [32 GB] displays the plugged in icon but its not charging, it sometimes does charges, 3 days ago I removed the cover it had and conected to the Mac and it showed the apple logo, before that it was flatted out with no charge at all and just displayed the red battery logo, but after I fully carged it it happened again and it didn't charged, I've read almost every thread about this but none help, At first the one that says to reboot your mac while charging works, it did worked for me, but right now the iPhone is at 6% for almost 13 hours, and it doesn't goes above than that, it was at 9% but I thought that if I let it discharge at least 3% it would charge then, but no use on that, something that seemed to work for me to charge it yesterday was to turn off everything putting it on Airplane Mode, but it ain't working no more, I've cleaned all the dust on the charging port, and still no use, I've also tried restoring 3 times and nothing, also did the reboot thing and nothi
